I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Great Film overall

Good movie but grossly overrated

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This was the weirdest film. It was made in 1945 but the main part of the film was from a 1927 silent serial "Perils of the Jungle". There is wonderful wild animal footage from it. The "modern" part of the film starred Ray "Crash" Corrigan, who comes to the Outpost Trading store after being attacked by a rare white gorilla (also played by Corrigan. He made a career out of playing gorillas and apes). He has a strange story to tell.This part of the film is from the silent serial and is by far the most interesting part of the film. Bennett and his partner are captured by natives and about to be killed when they are rescued by a little jungle boy. He is very cute and seems to be quite skilled at handling the animals - he only looks about 6!!! The story is told by Corrigan who was part of the group but seemed to spend the entire film peering through bushes, up trees or running from the action!!!!After being rescued they find a girl living in a hut with her blind father. She is able to get her hands on all the latest cosmetics somewhere in the jungle (may be from the "Outpost Trading Store"!!!) Every few minutes about 20 lions roar into the village - how anyone has managed to live a week in this jungle is amazing!!! How the old blind father has survived is very surprising - the lions trample their little hut minutes after Bennett gets there.There is also a strange man that rescues the little jungle boy but doesn't come back into the film. Also the jungle boy's mother has convinced the natives that she is a high priestess - the little boy has found a way to move the hands of the idol without being seen so the natives are afraid.Every so often the white gorilla appears (just to remind you he is the star) - it fights Corrigan, an ordinary gorilla and tries to carry off a girl who has fainted. It is pretty entertaining. It makes you want to see the silent serial in it's entirety.

OK, you know how Star Wars re-released the original 3 movies with new cg effects, sound, color, etc? They were presenting a 20 year old movie to a fresh audience. That is exactly what The White Gorilla is; everyone on here has commented on how they used footage from this old silent film... COME ON!! They didn't just *use* the silent film, it *is* that old silent film! (with a few minor additions, the gorilla scenes and the narration). I haven't sat down and timed it out, but it's gotta be 75% old movie at the very least... probably more like 80-90%. I can't imagine what they DIDN'T show from Perils of the Jungle in this film. As far as the terrible commentary goes.. did anyone notice when he just stops narrating in mid-sentence? It's at the start of the scene where he (or someone) rescues the jungle-boy from the lions by lowering a vine, he says something like, "I started wondering again about the little jungle boy I'd seen earlier; little did I know-"...presumably little-did-he-know he was walking right up on him, but it just cuts off mid-sentence and he doesn't say a word until the next scene. Believe me, it's not intentional, like to add suspense or something. It's very unnatural, you can tell he kept talking. I've managed my way through about half this movie so far, can't wait to see how it ends! :P

They must have had some leftover film and an old silent movie. Some Saturday afternoon, everyone got together and put together the bulk of this. Then a couple monkey suits left over from an old Lugosi film, a little narration, a scene in a trading post set, and voilà, you have a dumb movie. It apparently takes place in Africa but there are animals from all over the world. The elephants are mostly Indian elephants and there are tigers and lions. The story is about as lame as you can get in that there is no closure anywhere. Issues are never tied up. The narrator, Crash Corrigan, spends almost the whole movie thrashing around in the weeds, spying on people. He doesn't do anything to help. There is also a silly looking little boy who has dominion over animals and black natives. It goes around and around and never gets anywhere. This is a real bomb.

Harry L. Fraser, the writer and one of the producers of this movie, was also the writer of Perils of the Jungle, the 1927 serial from which he took the archive footage. The serial did have good animal scenes, so it's hard to fault Fraser for finding a way to recycle what would otherwise be badly outdated and unusable silent footage. The problem, as every other commentator has noted, is the impossibility of integrating the two films smoothly, and the terrible plot -- if there is a plot -- of the new footage.Frank Merrill, the hero of the 1927 serial, did play Tarzan in two later movies, Tarzan the Mighty and Tarzan the Tiger, but he was playing a different and unrelated character in Perils of the Jungle.Crash Corrigan, the hero of the new wrap-around movie, made a specialty of playing gorillas, and he often played other roles in the movies in which he donned the gorilla suit, but I believe this may be the only movie in which his human character directly confronts his animal character.
